BearingPoint launches a new generation of the EasyTax Software

Amsterdam, December 12, 2016 — With the upcoming Automatic Exchange of Information (AEOI) and its resulting tax reporting complexity, combining on- and off-shore tax applications within a single platform is one of the most time and cost-effective approaches. BearingPoint is extending its current EasyTax application to include on-shore tax calculation and reporting capabilities. Based on tax law applicable to a bank’s domicile, the module enables the calculation of the tax amount to be debited by the bank acting as paying agent and handles the tax reports required by tax authorities as well as client tax reports. Modules for France and Spain go live at the beginning of 2017 and for Belgium, Italy and the UK later next year.

Clients require the same quality and standard of tax reporting services from their wealth managers irrespective of where they placed their assets. What we see in the market is a trend of consolidation, whereby financial institutions are providing more and more tax services from a single tax platform.
